New Releases: Killer Space Robots and Stretchy Heroes

 

   There are 2 new releases in the past 2 days. The first, which started shipping yesterday, is the Doctor Who Big Screen Additions Collection from Stricktly Ink. This Dr. Who set is based around the two 60's movies, "Dr. Who and the Daleks" and "Daleks Invasion Earth 2150 A.D." This was another Stricktly Ink set I drew awhile back and, like their other releases, only did 22 cards for the set. (I'll post the gallery soon and update this as well here) 

  The other set out today is the Fantastic Four Archives set released from Rittenhouse Archives,  who I must say, have really been knocking the comic sets out of the park lately. This new one really looks top quality. The sketch artists have gotten a lot better, must be all the practice. I have all 150 of my cards in a gallery on my ComicSpace page

  (Ahhhh, caffeine is just starting to kick in.... what a wonderful feeling)  

Speaking of Sketch Cards, I've finally started cataloging the entire backlog of sets that I've worked on. Holy crap!, I've drawn a lot of cards. Over the years, (since 97-98) between what I've photocopied, scanned, tracked down, downloaded, and aquired with a little help from fans (Special thanks to Tialessa) I've been able to get a really good archive of most of the cards I've drawn. It's taking a bit longer than I planned but my computer will be happy once I've cleared it of all those image files and I'll be happy to get these sketches behind me.

Talk soon.
Later

Commissions, *UPDATED* ALL SLOTS FILLED!


     These things happen. Cram and cram to get work done in time to start the next project only to discover the project gets pushed back some or put on hold and find yourself with a bit extra time on your hands. So to fill that down time and answer some of the requests I've gotten lately, I'm opening up the commission schedule for an extremely limited time with a very limited number of slots starting right now.  First come first served and for how long I take commissions depends on the schedule.
   
This here Vader was one thats been on the back burner for awhile but just had the chance to get to it. 

  Also available, as I've had a few emails asking about these too, the MartineckArt Redemption cards.  These Redemptions are for anyone that can't get a sketch card right now or want to give a sketch as a present or just doesn't know what to order. (Big for Secret Santas) These are good for any type of sketch card, Penciled, Inked, Colored, and even for Scene cards. Give them as a present and they can be redeemed anytime. More info on Sketch Card Commissions can be found on my SketchCard Page

Happy Halloween



  A bit belated but Happy Halloween anyway! 

 Like a growing number of people it seems, Halloween is my favorite Holiday and has been since I was a kid. Yes, even better than Christmas. Although this has little to do with my work, I wanted to post this anyway. This year I whipped up a little Kevin Matchstick action for Halloween night and of course, nobody got it.  The
neighborhood just isn't that Comic savvy, but thought at least some of you would get it. (I know, I know, but that's about as much of a beard as I can grow) 

   On Saturday we went to a Costume party (with no kids!, yaaaah) and we got all done up for that and had a great time out and about. My wife as a Vampire and I her tasty victim. Hmmm, something subliminal there?, maybe lifes undertones coming to the surface?, maybe just an easy costume choice, who knows. We had fun.  

Until next October 31
